BMC got possession of the land in 2016. Of the 17 buildings on the premises that were handed over to the civic body, the nine, listed as heritage structures, will be retained. The remaining will be reconstructed. The project aims to document, archive and represent Mumbai’s textile legacy. (Photo by Anshuman Poyrekar/Hindustan Times )
